Jake Cuenca feels honored to be working with Angel Locsin on MMK!

Though he came straight from the taping of Rubi, Jake Cuenca looked refreshed and ready to deliver his scenes well with Angel Locsin at the set of their upcoming Maalaala Mo Kaya episode. ABS-CBN.com was able to interview Jake in between takes and he told us that he feels really honored to be paired off with the dramatic actress for the first time in his career. “Hindi ko nga alam kung anong ginagawa kong tama kasi nape-pair ako sa mga bigating leading lady



The story is a light drama kaya nung una laro laro lang kami ni Angel. But it’s something with moral value also so I’m happy to be here as Angel’s partner,” he began.

Perhaps viewers would be surprised to know though that Jake has good chemistry with Angel since there’s never an awkward moment even when they’re doing a dramatic sequence. “Siguro kasi nung nasa kabilangnetwork pa kami nakatrabaho ko na siya. Pero Angel Locsin na siya nun e, ako up and coming pa lang. Actually Hindi ko nga naisip na magiging leading lady ko siya kasi ang taas taas ng tingin ko sa kanya bilang artista at bilang tao.Kaya nung sinabi sa akin na magkakatrabaho kami as a love team, nagulat ako. Sabi ko, ‘seryoso ba kayo, totoo ba ‘to?’ Hindi ako makapaniwala talaga.”

In this MMK episode, Jake and Angel are both salespersons who come from poor families. They’ve become close only to find out that Jake is married already. “Kumbaga kinasal ako, hindi nag-work out tapos nahanap ko yung true love ko. So ang question, kaya ba tanggapin ng true love ko na nagkaasawa at nagkaanak na ako? Madalas nangyayari ‘yan sa totoong buhay and mahirap kasi siyempre, mag-iisip ka talaga ng ilang beses kung papasok ka ba sa ganon kakumplikadong relasyon. Ito yung makikita niyo sastory ng MMK for Valentine’s,” he explained.

When asked if he had experience being torn between two lovers in real life, Jake revealed that he’s actually a one-woman man contrary to popular belief. “Hindi kasi kapag nagmahal ako, sarado ako dun. Pero nagkaroon ako ng mga panaginip tungkol sa ganitong sitwasyon at yun ang binebasehan ko sa storya. Nanaginip ako ng ganon nito lang rin. Ano kasi yung mga panaginip ko minsan malungkot talaga.” He refused to say, however, if the women he dreamt about are also from showbiz.“Ang totoo niyan kapag nanaginip ka ng ganyan, kabaliktaran ang nangyayari. Yun ang mas pinapaniwalaan ko. Kaya kinabukasan ang sarap ng gising ko,” he added.
